Dumb question? Not at all. Problem question? Definitely. You
will have to get an interface card for the 3.5" drive. You cannot 
use the ones for the 5.25" drives. Two well know cards are the 
UDC card made by Laser (Vtech) and Apple's own card. Since none
of the cards are being produced today, therein lies the problem.
